(1) In any action in delinquency in which a juvenile is alleged to be an aggravated juvenile offender, as described in section 19-2-516, or is alleged to have committed an act that would constitute a crime of violence, as defined in section 18-1.3-406, C.R.S., if committed by an adult, the juvenile or the district attorney may demand a trial by a jury of not more than six persons except as provided in section 19-2-601 (3)(a), or the court, on its own motion, may order such a jury to try any case brought under this title, except as provided in subsection (2) of this section.
(2) The juvenile is not entitled to a trial by jury when the petition alleges a delinquent act which is a misdemeanor, a petty offense, a violation of a municipal or county ordinance, or a violation of a court order.
(3) Unless a jury is demanded pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, it shall be deemed waived.
(4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, in any action in delinquency in which a juvenile requests a jury pursuant to this section, the juvenile shall be deemed to have waived the sixty-day requirement for holding the adjudicatory trial established in section 19-2-708. In such a case, the juvenile's right to a speedy trial shall be governed by section 18-1-405, C.R.S., and rule 48 (b) of the Colorado rules of criminal procedure.
